Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

Security analytics has become an increasingly popular field as more and more organizations take a different tact to cybersecurity. Historically, IT teams focused on prevention and protection, but today’s priority is detection. Hackers tend to use a wide range of ever-changing tools to exploit vulnerabilities. It can feel like whack-a-mole to constantly try to defend against evolving threats.

It’s a sure sign that year-end is fast approaching when stores start to display their holiday merchandise and decorations before Hallowe’en is even over.

If you ask the question “who is responsible for a company’s cybersecurity,” the answer you’ll most likely hear is no longer the CTO, or the IT department, but instead the CEO. In fact, Gartner believes that 75% of CEOs will be held personally liable for cyber and physical breaches by 2024. That means there’s no more passing the buck on this complex issue.

Risk management of code is an important and often overlooked development function that you need to pay attention to. You may think that this is not a developer’s problem, however developers should not write code that unduly adds to technical debt, hence the need to manage risk. The primary motivation for risk management is to prevent error or failure. Do not seek to eliminate failure, seek to minimise it, to manage the risk of failure.
